The poor we have always with us and in

PRINCE NAPOLEON has just finished
history Of his great Observation-Disclosures
/. and his Slanderers." The work is
likely 20 cause some sensation in French
political circles, as it contains slashing
attack on all those misguided beings
who do not adopt the ideas Napoleonien-
nes-notably M. TAME.
EIeHTY-Two thousand Germans live in
France at the present time, notwithstand-
ing the steady prejudice against their
nationality. Since the great war of 1870,
they have gradually crept back into the
country, while, though bursts of anti
Teutonic feeling may occur in the press,
and even be practically shown by the
French people themselves, as on several
recent occasions, in the main the German
residents get on very comfortably with
their ex-enemies, and find the enmity
more theoretical than practical.
THEgrea organ of the Church of Rome
in New York, the Freeman's journal,
speaks very kindly of DR.. MoGLYNN's
personal character. 1t says: LET there
be no mistake made. DIR. McGLYNN was
communicated as disobedient priest
not as heretical one. He must be al
lowed the credit Of having led q life
which in moral aspect is blamelees, and
so long as he preserves that purity which
made his life remarkable and shining,
there is hope for him-as one of the hun
bred who have strayed from the fold"
PHILLIPS Brooks, in one of his pub
liahed sermons, speaks of " the necessary
power that the weaker has over the
stronger, the lower over the higher" and
says: +" 1t is power which develops as
all life grows higher, and which comes to
its completeness when We get up into the
region where man has to do with GoD.
The lowest conditions OF life hardly know
it at all. Think of the masteries that are
strongest and most imperative in two
communities at the opposite extremes OF
social life. Into village OF savages
comes some ruffian, more big and brutal
than any other who is there, stronger in
limb, holder in arrogant courage; and all
the savage village owns him as its mas
ter; all its people are at his feet in admit
ration and obedience. What he bids
them they will do. Then turn to the
other extreme. In some civilized village
of England or America there is heard the
cry OF a suffering infant; the story Of
some wrong done to little child comes
to mems plying ears, and all the village
is stirred and will not rest until the wrong
is righted and the little child relieved.
The little child with its woes is master Of
those strong and busy men; his cry Of
pain summons them from their work as
a bugle calls the soldiers to the field"
